Who is the happy salad?

My name is Marlene and I am a Dutch idealist, hobby philosopher, a psychology student and a vegan food and coffee lover. Sometimes rebellious, sometimes still and observant.

How The Happy Salad started

The non diet approach & body positivity

Veganism

I started eating vegetarian since I was old enough to decide so. Although I liked the taste of some particular meats, eating animals did not make any sense to me. After quitting dieting, I could finally let go of my food related fears/rules and stopped eating dairy and eggs as well, at the same time followed by any other animal based product.It made me feel free in some kind of way. There was always something holding me back in loving animals, because subconsciously I knew I was hurting animals by consuming them or their by-product.
